I don't believe a telephone modem (eMTA) can deliver enough voltage to clang those bells on a rotary.

From what I remember about rotary phones on the POTS, rotary phones ran on DC power from a switch house. That's why they'd still work during power outages.
I'm sure there are tone-converters on the market to connect a rotary phone nowadays. Will you search for something?
